No ride today, it was very chilly and windy :(

Does anyone remember reading last month, about a nationwide Ride to Remember Veterans during Veteran's Day weekend, Nov. 10-11, 2012? How would you guys like to have our own HorseChannel ride in honor of Veteran's Day? We can chose one day that we all will ride on, even if it is only for a few minutes or just to sit on the horse during the Veteran's holiday. Then we could share our pics from that day and share our story of the day. If you agree would Sunday November the 11 be ok for our ride date?

November is a time of thanks. Thanks should be part of our every day lives all year long. Let us be thankful for our friends and loved ones. Let us be kind one to another. Cruelty has no place among true friends.

FANCY'S PERCEPTIONS, Born TO SpOOk!: Q: What do they teach at witches school? A: Spelling.

I experienced something new during our Saturday ride . It was a simple thing, but it was beautiful. As we rode through the forest, at a nice relaxed walk, we were in a grove of trees as the wind picked up slightly. It was as if the wind gently wrapped around us. With the gentle wind came a feeling that I cannot describe. It was like we were in a snow globe. It was beautiful. The trees surrounded us, except the clearing of the trail. The prettiest part was the leaves! The leaves began to fall around us like a summer shower! It was so beautiful to see and feel all the colored leaves fall like rain. They fell slowly, but it was so many and it lasted for a few minutes as we walked through. I looked up and all I could see was the leaves swirling down, it was beautiful!

It finally warmed up a little, but its still windy. Yesterday I rode both Misty and Dakota, they where full of pep and lots of fun to ride. While I was riding Dakota some beef calves got out, so we chased them in, and later while I was riding Misty, the Holstein steers got out so we chased them in too, wich was a lot of fun, the horses and I get a kick out of chasing those little rascals. I also did some ground work with Sierra.

Question of the day: If you had the chance to spend a day with a famous horseman or horsewoman of your choice, who would you choose and why? I would probably choose Clinton Anderson, as his method seems to be very effective.

Thanks everyone for all the support for Dakota's HOTM run, keep it up! Maria, Dakota N the girls

FANCY'S PERCEPTIONS, Thank you for HOTD: "Treasure this day and treasure yourself. Truly, neither will ever happen again." (unknown) A special Thanks to Continetals Mystery for nominating Fancy for HOTD. Thank each of you who have left a vote on Fancy's page or even only visited to see what she was up to. Some of you wonder why I am so busy on HC each day possible. HC is a place where I can share the love of my horse with people who think like me. Many of you watched Fancy grow up, right here on HC. Every day is a new adventure for each of us and I enjoy sharing our adventures with you and reading of your adventures. In the knowledge of knowing that nothing last forever, I try not to take my horse for granted, but to celebrate my horse, Fancy Walk N That Way.

I will share the news of HOTD with Fancy. Maybe the rains will rest long enough for Fancy and I to enjoy a few minutes in her honor. I am breaking out extra Bucking Balls and I better stop at the store for apples!

Another rainy day vote for you ☁

CONGRATULATIONS 2012 OCTOBER HOTM ♦ ANGEL PETITE FLEUR #216601 ♦ Beauty # 216110, we have enjoyed having you as our September HOTM. We hope you enjoyed the month as well:)

Fancy and Trigger leave this rainy October 1st vote for you. Don't let rainy days & Mondays get you down :)

Thank you for your love and concern for Jasmine. I have shared your messages with Jasmine's family because I am sure your words made her feel happy ♥

If you would like to see them, I have posted new photos from the Fair show on Fancy's page.

Happy October! How was your weekend? I cannot wait to take a ride and hear the fallen leaves crunching under our feet. That will have to wait because of all the expected rains this week. ♥ Fancy & Frances ♥ ♣ Little Cowboy & Trigger ♣

How are you doing? All better yet? Enjoying a nice weekend? It's still hot here during the day but quite cool at night. No frost yet which is great. More garden veggies!

Been working on setting up a pen for Eddie within Pippin's big day paddock. It will be small but enough for Eddie at night. During the afternoon the two of them will be loose together and I'm pretty sure Pippin will be boss. Eddie is more submissive and Pippin is anything but!

Tomorrow we'll finish the gate, shed, and posts, and Eddie will be coming Tuesday morning! I can't believe we're finally going to have a big horse. Actually, he's a HUGE horse. He's 18.2hh and Pippin is 31". Can't get much bigger a difference than that! Should make for some great photos and video.

How's everything on the horse front for you? Any adventures this weekend? Here's a vote for you and there will be photos coming soon!

Hey Punk! Been so so long since I've been on! Well today we got Pride gelded the poor guy looked so humiliated!!!! They are both doing well and enjoying the cooler weather although the flys are bad!!! I hope to find some time at least weekly to visit but cant make any promises!

Hope you all are doing well! Voted for all my amazing friends! God bless!

Fancy and Trigger are pawing your voter horseshoe this morning. It is hard to fit two hooves on one vote button at the same time, but they seem to be working it out. PLEASE vote HOTD! ★ Sunny 200644 ★

My brother said the man that gave Trigger to him said to use a snaffle bit. Tuesday I got Trigger out and worked with him a little to see how he responded to the snaffle bit. Little Cowboy wants to use a curb bit. I have noticed the curb bit is not working out between the two of them. I checked and Trigger will listen to either bit if you use it correctly. So I know it is a matter of getting my little one to listen and learn. I am hoping Little Cowboy will listen to me this time and learn to use the snaffle bit. Little Cowboy said he wants to work this out with Trigger so he will learn to use the snaffle. Then I groomed Trigger and let him graze in the back yard. Next was Fancy's turn. She put her head onto the halter because she wanted OUT too. I have mailed our entry for the halter show at our local fair. We practiced for the halter classes. Fancy is also trying hard to learn to pivot on that right hind. Tuesday was the best yet. She almost turned completely around but she is slow to turn that right hind. Every now and then she will turn her body with out moving her right hind, then she ends up with her right leg twisted. I put her in the dirt to try it and she did a little better on turning that foot as she turns. So I am going to practice on the dirt until she understands that she can turn that foot as her body turns. I am not sure about this, I am learning too. Then Fancy enjoyed grass while I groomed her.

The profile photo shown today on Little Cowboy & Trigger's page is of them presenting the US Flag at our last fun show this past Sunday. Little Cowboy & Trigger were the only horse & rider team ready for the job of presenting the flag, so they went it alone. It was very nice to see that flag fly, but we hope to have more horse & rider teams ready to present flags next year. I have seen some horse & rider flag team pics in the VHS on HC. Do you have a horse & rider flag team in your area or have you carried any flag by horseback? It is fun! About 18 or so years ago, I carried our team flag by horseback, during parades.

Fancy and Trigger are galloping by with a evening vote for you friend.

I spent Thursday and Friday with Fancy. She was ready in case I decided to take her to the show. Friday after school Little Cowboy and Trigger practiced for some events . We had fun because Fancy and I had to show them what to do. I think it will be fun when I do get to compete with Fancy. We might not win, because she is not very fast. But she is certainly fun :) The show was rescheduled from Saturday to Sunday morning. Since this was the last fun show this year, we did attend. Little Cowboy entered quite a few events he had never tried before. Every one had fun watching him try new things. The crowd was in an uproar in laughter. I didn't get the funny stuff on video cause all the funny things happened after I stopped videoing. The bareback class was the funniest. He slid all the way onto Trigger's side and pulled himself back up with a hand full of mane. There were some cute little girls in the bareback too. The smallest one fell off and her sister came to her aide. It was so cute seeing this very small girl help her smaller sister back onto her horse after making sure she was ok of course. We all had a grand time at this event. Little Cowboy entered 10 events this show and he placed 1st, 3rd, or 4th in all events except one. The only event he did not place in was the egg and spoon race. I guess that is my fault for lettin him practice with an ice cream scoop and a plastic egg. LOL Next time we practice with a plastic spoon and a real egg. LOL! There is quite a difference there. I guess that is enough about that.

Angel Petite Fleur Oct HOTM and BLAZZE NOV HOTM and dusk HOTD sometime!! Thanks, here is a vote! Hannah BLAZZE and dusk, P.S how you spell BLAZZE not to be mean it is BLAZZE in all caps or just with the 2 Z's.

FANCY'S PERCEPTIONS: Q: What music do horses like to listen to? A: Hoof Beats

Here is a Saturday vote. Last night Little Cowboy & I came into the house late from our horse prep activities to learn that our Saturday show has been changed to Sunday because of severe storms expected to come into our area on Saturday. We will try to get some things done before the storms come in.

Big Thursday hello to everyone. Except for the flies, we're doing good. Weather's cooling down. Looking forward to Autumn. It's become my favorite time of the year. Hugs and a vote. Have an awesome weekend.

PLEASE vote HOTD! ★ Clifford 200281 ★

Here is a late vote. I have been outside playing with our puppies, working with Fancy, and putting longer twine on sponsor banners for our show this Saturday. I am entering Fancy in the horse show at our local fair coming the end of September. So I may not enter her in the show this Saturday. I am thinking of letting Little Cowboy have all the fun at this show. We will work with him and Trigger Friday after school.

Are there additional shows in your area this year? If there are any other shows in your area, do you plan to attend as a spectator or competitor? We only have the one this Saturday and the one at our fair coming up close to the end of this month.

I almost forgot, I will try to vote all contest Friday morning then I may be offline Friday and Saturday. If I am able to get online Friday or Saturday, I will.

FANCY'S PERCEPTIONS: “Getting angry with a horse is like trying to fight a forest fire with a squirt gun-there is no doubt that you are out powered.” (Cheryl Kimball)

Fancy is trodding by in the mudd with this wet to dry, to wet again, windy Wednesday vote just for you. One good thing the temps are very comfy and cool due to the wind. How is the weather at your house? :~)

The weather is finally cooling down. It's humid. Rained a little Tuesday night. Going to buy Austin's birthday present tonight. He'll be 17 on September 16th. Girls are doing good. The flies are horrible, but Bronco Fly Spray works well. Not using apple cider vinegar anymore. Didn't work. Not using garlic, either. Hugs and a vote.

Absolute Escapade "Koko" Profile #240562 needs our prayers for pain caused by misalignment in her back. Please pray for her to be pain free quickly!

Did you enjoy your weekend? We did enjoy the weekend, but did not get to ride every day as planned because of storm threats. Monday evening it thundered. There was rain in some areas around us, but no rain at our house.

I have to tell you that Fancy and I jumped our first fallen tree Friday and it was awesome! I hope we get to ride there again before someone removes that tree!

Saturday after I blogged & voted Little Cowboy & I left out for a ride. We rode across town to the farm. This was his first time riding all the way across town. On the way there he did great. We joined my brother and one of his friends for a ride into the woods. We had not been 30 minutes into the ride when it began to thunder. It began to thunder very hard and we turned back for the farm. It kept raining but the thunder did cease, so Little Cowboy and I headed back across town in the rain. It is an hour's ride by horseback. Little C loves riding in the rain. Before we reached home, the rains had stopped and it was getting hot again.

There are many storms in the forcast for the next 4 days. This evening we had storms pass through as well. Due to the storms, we will not plan to ride. But you never know.

I know you have done something fun or have something fun planned for Monday. I hope the weather in your back yard holds up nice and pretty for you.

Happy Labor Day Weekend to you! I was hoping to blogg & vote last night, but it did not work out. My brother & Buttercup were here at 10am and we left out for an all day ride. We rode until 8pm. This was Fancy, Trigger, & Little Cowboy's longest ride ever. It was fun, just like in the old days when we were much younger! We rode kids and a few ladies. We played around on some old stomping grounds. These places I have not been in at least 10 years! I remembered cantering through a row of small tress. Well now this row of trees is full grown and the limbs don't allow cantering through them. I did take Fancy down a three tier hill. That was fun. The first time she stepped so daintily and perfect. The second time my brother videod it and she did not step as cautiously. Trigger was very quiet and dependable as usual. Buttercup has more attitude than she knows what to do with. While my nephew was riding her she threatened to kick Fancy and we were not even very close to her. On a previous ride Buttercup threatened to strike Trigger with her front feet. At least Buttercup was nice to Trigger this time. She allowed him to ride close to her all day. Little Cowboy has planed on riding Friday, Saturday, and Monday. We shall see what happens on today's ride. Last night Little Cowboy told me he would like a much shorter ride today. He said Trigger needed to rest. Little Cowboy was so tired he feel asleep quickly and so did I:)
